FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to processes for making metallated alkynyl compounds and for making alkynyl ketones using the same.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Alkali metal and alkaline earth metal acetylenes are useful precursors in the synthesis of organic compounds. These compounds typically are highly reactive with ketones, labile chlorides, and the like. For example, 1-propynyl lithium (CH3 --C≡C--Li) is a useful precursor of 2-phenethyl 1-propynylketone (PPK), an acetylenic ketone, which is employed in the synthesis of a protease inhibitor.
Various techniques can be used to prepare propynyl lithium and other lithiated acetylenes. For example, the propynyl anion can be prepared by the reaction of propyne (CH3 --C≡CH) with an organolithium compound in a mixed hydrocarbon/ethereal solvent. See L. Brandsma, "Preparative Acetylenic Chemistry" (Elsevier 2d ed. 1988), page 24. U.S. Pat. No. 3,410,918 describes passing a gaseous mixture of propyne and allene through a slurry of lithium metal and sodium metal to produce propynyl lithium.
These techniques can require expensive reagents, such as propyne, or reagents which are difficult to handle, particularly on a commercial scale, such as lithium metal, which is a pyrophoric solid. This can also limit the commercial viability of these and other prior processes.
These processes also typically require an ethereal solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), to solubilize the resultant lithiated acetylene product. However, ethereal solvents such as THF can be expensive, particularly as the reaction is scaled up to commercial production levels. In addition, ethers such as THF are highly reactive with alkyl lithium starting reagents. Accordingly, these reactions typically require very low temperatures (-20° C. and lower). However, many reactor systems in production facilities do not have the capability to cool to these temperatures, and installation of reactor systems capable of cooling to these low temperatures require increased capital investments. This can adversely impact commercial scale production of organic products from both an engineering and economic standpoint.
Propynyl ketones can be prepared using a propynyl lithium precursor by a cationic exchange reaction with zinc chloride, followed by coupling of the propynyl anion with a derivative of a carboxylic acid in a hydrocarbon/ethereal solvent to yield the desired product. Typically, the reaction is conducted at a temperature ranging from about -20° C. to about 0° C. After addition is complete, the reaction is warmed to room temperature (about 20° C.) for 30 minutes or more. See Brandsma, supra, page 105; L. Brandsma et al., J. Organometallic Chem. 388: 289-294 (1988).
Propynyl ketones, such as PPK, produced under these conditions can contain impurities. As a result, the product may require downstream purification, such as vacuum distillation at high temperatures. However, propynyl ketones such as PPK can rapidly decompose when heated above about 150° C. in an exothermic reaction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A first aspect of the present invention is a process for making metallated acetylenes, in which a mixture of at least one acetylenic compound and at least one saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon (which is different from the acetylenic compound) is contacted with an organometallating agent capable of deprotonating and metallating the acetylenic compound, such as an organolithium. An exemplary mixture is MAPP gas, a gaseous byproduct of butadiene production which includes propyne, allene, propene and saturated hydrocarbons, such as propane and butane. Another exemplary mixture includes propyne and a saturated hydrocarbon, such as propane.
In contrast with prior processes, the process in accordance with this aspect of the invention uses a relatively inexpensive reagent (the acetylenic compound mixture) as a starting reagent. Further, the process eliminates the use of reagents which are difficult to handle, particularly on a commercial scale, such as lithium metal. Accordingly, the process can improve the commercial viability of preparing metallated acetylenic compounds on a large scale.
From the literature, it would be expected that an organolithium would deprotonate other unsaturated hydrocarbons present in the mixture, not just propyne. See L. Brandsma, "Preparative Acetylenic Chemistry" (Elsevier 2d ed. 1988), page 233, which states that butyllithium can metallate allenes. Surprisingly, however, the inventors have not observed allenyl and/or propenyl derived products.
A second aspect of the present invention is a process for making metallated acetylenes, in which a relatively pure acetylenic compound or a mixture thereof with at least one saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon (such as MAPP gas) is reacted with an organometallating agent capable of deprotonating and metallating the acetylenic compound, such as an organolithium, in a hydrocarbon solvent. As noted above, prior processes typically require an ethereal solvent to solubilize the metallated compound. However, ethers such as THF are highly reactive with organolithium starting reagents, and processes using ethereal solvents require very low reaction temperatures (-20° C. and lower).
In contrast, in this aspect of the invention, ethereal solvents, and accordingly low reaction temperatures, are eliminated. This can improve economies of synthesis, both with regard to the cost of materials and specialized equipment required to conduct synthesis at extremely low temperatures.
A third aspect of the invention is a process for preparing acetylenic ketones in which a metallated acetylene is reacted with transition metal halide or other suitable transition metal derivative (optionally) and with a derivative of carboxylic acid to form a reaction product. The inventors have found that the reaction product includes unreacted reagents, such as unreacted carboxylic acid derivatives, in addition to the acetylenic ketone. The inventors have also found that the unreacted reagents can participate in undesirable side reactions and thus adversely impact purity of the recovered ketone. For example, unreacted carboxylic acid derivatives can cleave ethereal solvents in the presence of catalytic amounts of zinc halide, particularly at work-up temperatures currently recommended in the literature.
In this aspect of the invention, the reaction product is treated under conditions sufficient to minimize or eliminate formation of impurities by unreacted starting reagents during work-up of the reaction product and recovery of the acetylenic ketone. Suitable neutralizing agents are added to the reaction product to neutralize unreacted reagents at temperatures below which the unreacted reagents can form impurities. This can provide a three to four fold reduction of impurities in the recovered acetylenic ketone. Because the recovered product is purer, additional downstream purification steps can be minimized or eliminated. This is advantageous because downstream purification, such as distillation, can increase production costs and time and adversely affect product quality.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The term "metallated acetylenes" as used herein refers to compounds of the formula R--C≡C--M, in which R is hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, arylalkyl, silyl or heteroaromatic, and M is an alkali or alkaline earth metal, such as, but not limited to, lithium, sodium, and magnesium. As used herein, the term "alkyl" refers to C1 to C10 linear or branched alkyl, such as, but not limited to, methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, s-butyl, t-butyl, pentyl, hexyl, and the like. The term "aryl" as used herein refers to C6 to C10 cyclic aromatic groups such as phenyl, naphthyl, and the like and includes substituted aryl groups such as tolyl. The term "cycloalkyl" as used herein refers to C3 to C8 cyclic alkyl, such as cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and the like. The term "silyl" as used herein refers to C1 to C10 organosilicon groups, such as trimethylsilyl and the like. The term "heteroaromatic" as used herein refers to C4 to C10 heteroaromatic groups, such as pyridinyl, furanyl thiophenyl, and the like.
In one aspect of the invention, metallated acetylenes are prepared by the reaction of an organometallating agent capable of deprotonating and metallating the acetylenic compound with a mixture comprising at least one acetylenic compound and at least one other hydrocarbon which is different from the acetylenic compound. Exemplary organometallating agents include without limitation organoalkali metal compounds, organoalkaline earth metal compounds, organomagnesium halides, and the like. Organoalkali metal compounds, such as organolithium and organosodium, generally can be described by the formula R1 --M, in which R1 is alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, or arylalkyl, each of which is defined above with regard to R, and M is alkali metal, such as lithium or sodium. Organoalkaline earth metal compounds, such as dialkylmagnesium, generally can be described by the formula M(R1)2, in which each R1 is as defined above and M is alkaline earth metal, such as magnesium. Organomagnesium halide can generally be described as a Grignard reagent R1 MgX, in which R1 is as defined above and X is halide.
The acetylenic compound may be any compound which includes a reactive acetylenic linkage --C≡CH, and generally can be described by the formula R--C≡CH, wherein R is as defined above.
The acetylenic compound is provided as a component of a mixture with at least one other hydrocarbon which is different from the acetylenic compound. The other hydrocarbon can be a saturated or unsaturated, branched or linear hydrocarbon.
An exemplary mixture includes allene (H2 C:C:CH2) and/or propene. Saturated linear or branched C1 to C4 hydrocarbons can also be present in the mixture, including, for example, propane and butane. Advantageously, the mixture is a gaseous mixture comprising propyne and allene known as MAPP gas. MAPP gas is widely available commercially as a by-product of the manufacture of butadiene, and is generally used as a welding fuel gas.
The composition of the mixture can vary, so long as the mixture includes acetylenic compound in an amount sufficient to produce lithiated acetylenic compound. Suitable MAPP gases comprise about 2% to about 40% propyne and about 1% to about 40% allene. The MAPP gas can also include about 1% to about 20% propene. Commercially available MAPP gas also typically includes about 20% to about 60% saturated C1 to C4 hydrocarbons, principally propane and butane, as diluents. Surprisingly, no allenyl or propenyl derived products are observed when using MAPP gas.

An exemplary reaction in accordance with this aspect of the invention is illustrated below: ##STR1##
Metallated acetylenic compounds of the formula R--C≡C--M described above, in which R and M are as defined above, can also be prepared in the absence of an ethereal solvent and/or at increased temperatures relative to conventional processes. In this aspect of the invention, a suitable source of an acetylenic compound is reacted with an organometallating agent as described above, such as an alkyllithium. Suitable acetylenic compound sources include relatively pure acetylenic compounds of the formula R--C≡CH, as defined above, such as propyne gas. The acetylenic compound can also be provided as a mixture of the acetylenic compound with at least one other hydrocarbon as described above, for example, MAPP gas and propyne/propane mixtures.
The acetylenic compound can be added to the organometallating agent (such as a hydrocarbon solution of an alkyllithium), the organometallating agent can be added to the acetylenic compound, or the reagents added to a reaction vessel substantially simultaneously. The hydrocarbon solvent can be any of the hydrocarbon solvents described above. In addition, the reaction can be conducted at a temperature of at least about 0° C. or higher.
An exemplary reaction in accordance with this aspect of the invention is illustrated below: ##STR2##
Metallated acetylenic compounds produced in accordance with the present invention can be further reacted with suitable reagents, such as derivatives of carboxylic acid and salts thereof, to form acetylenic ketones of the formula RC≡CC(═O)R2. A metallated acetylene (prepared as described above or by other processes) is optionally reacted with transition metal halide or other suitable transition metal derivative in the presence of an ethereal cosolvent. The acetylenic organometallic compound is then reacted with a derivative of carboxylic acid of the formula R2 COX or a salt thereof. The reaction takes place at a temperature less than or about -20° C. for a period sufficient to produce acetylenic ketone. See L. Brandsma, Preparative Acetylenic Chemistry (Elsevier 2d ed. 1988), page 105; L. Brandsma, et al., J. Organometallic Chem. 388, 289-294 (1988).
Exemplary transition metal halides include, but are not limited to, zinc chloride, zinc bromide, manganese chloride, cadmium chloride, and the like. Other transition metal derivatives can also be used.
R2 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, arylalkyl, or cycloalkyl (each as defined above) and X is halogen, C1 to C10 alkoxy, anhydride, or NR3 R4, wherein each R3 and R4 is independently selected from alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, arylalkyl, cycloalkyl (each as defined above), C1 to C10 alkoxy, or R3 and R4 together represent a heterocyclic group (such as imidazole, triazole, oxazolidiene, and the like). The transition metal halide, or other suitable transition metal derivative, is an optional reagent, and the metallated acetylene can be reacted directed with a derivative of carboxylic acid or a salt thereof.
Exemplary acid derivatives include, but are not limited to, hydrocinnamoyl chloride, acetyl chloride, benzoyl chloride, Weinreb amide of hydrocinnamic acid (in which X is N(OCH3)CH3), and the like, although other acid derivatives or their salts can be used.
Exemplary acetylenic ketones include, without limitation, 2-phenethyl 1-propynylketone (PPK), phenyl propynyl ketone, cyclohexyl 1-butynyl ketone, isopropyl 1-butynyl ketone, cyclohexyl 2-trimethylsilylethynyl ketone, and the like.
After the reaction is substantially complete, the reaction product, which includes acetylenic ketone and unreacted starting reagents such as acid derivative, is treated to neutralize and thus reduce or minimize unreacted starting reagents. During the neutralization step, the reaction product is maintained at reduced temperatures of less than about 0° C., preferably between about -20° C. and about 0° C., to minimize the reactivity of unreacted starting reagents and thus improve the purity of the recovered ketone. The reaction product can be warmed up to about 0° C. for not more than 1 hour during the neutralizing step.
The types and quantities of unreacted starting reagents present in the reaction product can be determined using conventional techniques, and suitable neutralizing agents can be added to the reaction product as needed in amounts sufficient to substantially neutralize unreacted reagents. For example, exemplary neutralizing agents for neutralizing acid derivative include, without limitation, alkali and alkaline earth metal hydroxides (such as sodium hydroxide NaOH, potassium hydroxide KOH, calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 and the like), ammonium hydroxide, alkali and alkaline earth metal carbonates or bicarbonates (such as potassium carbonate K2 CO3, sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3, and the like), water, or other suitable agents known in the art for quenching acid. Other neutralizing agents may be added to the reaction product as well, depending upon the unreacted starting agents present.
Neutralizing unreacted reagents at low temperatures prior to work-up and recovery of the acetylenic ketone can improve the purity of the recovered product to at least about 80% purity, and more preferably at least about 90% purity, and higher. In contrast, following conventional techniques, the recovered product has a purity of only about 80% (as illustrated in comparative example 2 below), and the product requires downstream purification steps. Further, the process of the invention can provide improved purity with improved yield (at least about 75% yield and higher).
